This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Le transporté" by Joseph Méry is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of post-revolutionary Paris, focusing on the life of a prominent woman named Lucrèce Dorio. Through her interactions with various characters, including young conspirator Maurice Dessains, the narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the sociopolitical turmoil of the time. The opening of "Le transporté" paints a vivid picture of Paris in the early 1800s, showcasing a grand hotel being demolished to make way for new buildings, a metaphor for change and the passage of time. Lucrèce Dorio, described as a stunning woman recognized for her beauty and sophistication, is at the center of social life, engaging in playful yet serious discussions with her male contemporaries about politics and the dangers posed by the conspiratorial atmosphere. Maurice, a frail and melancholic young man who faces potential death, is introduced as a conspirator with a troubling destiny that intertwines with Lucrèce's. The narrative hints at the broader political upheavals of the era while delving into the intimate struggles of its characters, setting the stage for exploration of deeper existential and romantic themes.
